I can’t even remember how I first heard Iron Maiden — it just seems like they were always around when I was in high school. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son was definitely my favorite album by them, and “Can I Play With Madness” was my favorite song. I had Iron Maiden T-shirts and posters on my wall. I remember we had a vinyl copy of Live After Death, and I thought the version of “The Number of the Beast” on that album was just killer.
I never saw Iron Maiden live, but I played the heck out of Seventh Son and also Somewhere in Time, which ended up being my favorite Iron Maiden album. I know a lot of people were like, “Oh, that’s the Iron Maiden synth album,” but to me, it’s just their best work.

Handling Iron Maiden in a vacuum is something of a fool’s errand. Good luck regardless.
What’s that cassette in the lower left? I thought in the 80’s they just had the seven albums plus Live After Death
1990 no prayer for the dying
